Did you know one of our favorite designers that is sold in over 800 stores is from Chicago? In only 5 short years Vfish has grown from a Chicago girl's condo / workroom to one of the most successful Chicago based fashion houses. Shop Vfish at our upcoming Pop-UP Shop or visit their website.

 The vfish brand launched in 2008- out of Mandy Moise's guest bedroom in her Chicago Condo. Amazingly, the first collection was picked up and sold by MACY's. Mandy, a former Physical Education teacher was completely surprised that she somehow just happened to have a knack for it. She hit the road with rolling racks and a box of line sheets, personally selling the collection to boutiques all across the country.  http://www.vfishdesigns.com/store/pc/custhome.asp

Next up is Anna Hovet. We love Anna because she makes her urban cool clothing in Chicago, she keeps it wearable and cozy, most pieces are convertible and she masters the art of streetwear mixed with high fashion. Come see Anna Hovet collection at the Pop Up Shop or check out her website.

Anna Hovet Designs speaks to the urban, trendy woman’s need to have stylish, unique, and wearable clothing that makes her feel beautiful and confident, while speaking to her self-expressive nature. The company empowers women and is an honest and forth-right business committed to designing edgy, inventive, convertible, and practical clothing by infusing cross-cultural design details and marrying the worlds of streetwear and high fashion. Anna Hovet Designs also sees fashion as a platform to address social issues, raising public awareness through special design collections, organizing charitable events, and donating profits. http://www.annahovet.com/

Faubourg du Temple stocked at clever alice  Sample Sale /POP UP SHOP

FAUBOURG DU TEMPLE
Faubourg Du Temple is a French young contemporary line inspired by Paris gals.

Jeanne Forgeront, daughter of Hippies, grew up all over the world and was able to witness the different trends that fashion had to offer.

She spent the last decade of her life in Paris and was inspired by numerous contemporary designers, from Isabel Marant to Agnes B.

She was shopping in this famous street Faubourg Du Temple, 11 garment district in Paris.

Here came to her the idea of launching her own line.

Her motto is to keep a good price and trendy designs with a great quality.

In 2011 Faubourg Du Temple was born.

In 2 years Faubourg Du Temple conquers the world and is available in more than 80 stores in the USA, France, Germany, England, Japan, Korea and United Arab Emirates.

Faubourg Du Temple had invaded press and celebrities closet.

Dates May 22 to June 2 

Olena Dats' Sample Sale will be showing at clever alice's next POP UP SHOP

Olena Dats' Sample Sale will be showing at clever alice's next POP UP SHOP

Her collection for Spring was clearly everyone's favorite at our Spring POP UP SHOP so we are certainly excited to have her back again this summer. Almost no customer left without picking up one of Olena Dats' pieces which sold between $90 and $160 [normally $450 and up ]. If you are not familiar with this dress designer it's probably because she only sells in Europe, Paris mostly. Though I am sure that is going to change quickly once the word gets out.
